Mom, Boyfriend Charged in NYC 4-year-old son, Quachon Brown’s, Death

Yet another terrible situation in New York City with the child welfare agency. It is reported that Administration for Children’s Services caseworkers had visited the apartment where Quachon lived in November 2005 and reported it “to be in order.” Well, once again with the case of children case workers the term “in order” could not have been further from the truth.

A woman and her boyfriend were arrested Tuesday in the alleged beating death of her 4-year-old son, the latest in a recent series of child abuse fatalities that have rattled the city’s child welfare agency.

Alicia Smith, 26, faces a manslaughter charge in the death of Quachon Brown, police said. Her boyfriend, Jose Calderone, 18, was arrested on a second-degree murder charge.

Investigators believe Calderone physically abused the child, a police official said.

In less than two months from when case workers visited the home of Quachon Brown, “in order” became everything but. When police had entered the Bronx apartment they found Quachon dead with what appeared to be a fractured skull and other injuries.

Police responding to a 911 call early Monday found Quachon dead in the family’s filthy Bronx apartment. Investigators think the boy had died Sunday.

Autopsy results were pending, but police said there was preliminary evidence that the child had a fractured skull, a damaged liver and atrophied leg muscles.

When will these stories end and children’s services take their positions more seriously? These people handle cases of the most vulnerable among us. Maybe they should start acting like it.
